This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

        Gotify is supposedly a good alternative. Looking into it myself now.

            Ugh, seriously? Great…

            (Edit) I don’t think this is true? They use Mozilla’s push services, but nothing about their Codeberg repo (yes, it’s on Codeberg, not Github) indicates they’re part of Mozilla.

              The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

                  Self-host

                  It is possible to host your own Autopush server. Autopush is designed to work with Google BigTable but it is also possible to use it with redis.

                  For this:

                  1. Clone Autopush

                  # mozilla-services/autopush-rs

                  Autopush-rs

                  Mozilla Push server built with Rust.

                  By using Sunup, your are going to have to trust Mozilla.

                    I already acknowledged they’re using a Mozilla service. My comment was about the claim that they’re owned by Mozilla. What the fuck happened to reading comprehension?

          ntfy never really had good push to iOS, in my experience. The only way I could keep my private channels consistently working was to use the PWA and specifically not sign into it (otherwise, my login token would expire and break things).

          I gave up and switched to pushover and as long as I’m somewhat cognizant about what i’m including in the notifications, I’ve been pretty happy.

          I’d love for something self hostable to get as good as pushover on iOS
